Wet and windy weather will continue for most over the New Year weekend, as the 'bomb cyclone' that caused temperatures to plummet in the United States affects the UK. But it looks set to remain mild with temperatures of around 12°C in Wales over the weekend.
A freezing winter storm in America, caused by what forecasters called a 'bomb cyclone', brought high winds and blizzard conditions across large parts of the country, along with life-threatening flooding, flash-freezing and travel chaos.
Now, the Met Office says that the current wet and windy weather in the UK is being pushed on by a strong jet stream, which is the driving force behind much of the weather the UK experiences.
